Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to machine inspection of part production and, more particularly, to systems and methods of automated Al inspection of customized part production. For example, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processor, design information for a custom part; extracting, by the processor, feature information of the custom part from the design information; receiving, by the processor, images of the custom part in production from a recording in near real time; and verifying, by the processor, using machine learning that features in the images of the custom part in production are in compliance with the feature information of the custom part.

         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the machine learning comprises applying a convolutional neural network model that identifies subprocesses of the custom part in production from the images of the custom part in production from the recording. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the machine learning comprises applying a convolutional neural network model that determines the features in the images of the custom part in production are in compliance with an image from the feature information of the custom part. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the convolutional neural network model is trained to receive the images of the custom part in production from the recording, the subprocesses from a reference video and reference images for each subprocess to identify plural subprocesses of the custom part in production from the images of the custom part in production from the recording. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the convolutional neural network model is trained to determine that the features in the images of the custom part in production are in compliance using at least one image of the custom part with plural features that are not in compliance with the features of the custom part and at least one image of the custom part with the features that are in compliance with the features of the custom part. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the verifying using the machine learning comprises applying plural convolutional neural network models that determine the features in the images of the custom part in production are in compliance with an image from the feature information of the custom part in subprocesses of the production. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 verifying, by the processor, using the machine learning in a subsequent production of another custom part that plural features in images of the another custom part in the subsequent production are in compliance with plural features of the reference images.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 storing the recording in a storage system; and   inputting images of the custom part in production from the stored recording in a convolutional neural network model that determines plural features in plural images of another custom part in a subsequent production are in compliance with plural features in the images of the custom part in production from the recording.
